Reports noted that the German Armed Forces will receive 80 ground surveillance radar (BÜR - Bodenüberwachungsradar) by 2012 which is quite effective in detecting movements on ground and at low altitude with a precision. BUR is suited most to the mobile DINGO 2 armoured vehicle manufactured by Munich-based Company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. The stem of the radar based on latest electronic scan control technology “AESA” (Active Electronically Scanned Array) which is quite innovative in detection and surveillance; its delay-free electronic beam control enables the radar to perform multiple reconnaissance tasks and achieve a much greater level of efficiency and reliability in comparison to mechanically scanned radars. The system built by EADS Defence and Security is having unmatched technical precision in the world. This will help German Armed forces to fill the gap in intelligence gathering and reconnaissance1.
